Patented Jan 23, 1934 HAIR WAVER Jacob Goodman, Brno, N. 1., assior to lliielamere Company, Ena, a corporation oi Delaware Application November 1, 1932. Serial No. 640,585

1 Claim; (Cl. 132-41) This invention relates to improvements in hair wavers or curlers of the type disclosed in Patents Numbers 1,847,480, granted to me on March 1, 1932, and 1,739,301 of December 10, 1929, of which 1 was a co-inventor.

Devices of that type are intended for use in dressing hair, and particularly for curling or waving the hair ends. In using such devices it is customary to wet the hair and to wear the device in the hair until the hair has been thoroughly dried and set in the form of a curl or wave.

The primary object of this invention is to improve the construction and operation of devices of this character, and thereby render them more eflicient in use.

Another object is to provide a hair waver which is adapted to dry the hair rapidly so as to expedite formation of the wave or curl.

A further object is to provide a device having means for ventilating the hair during the wave or curl forming operation.

A still further object is to provide a device which is extremely light in weight so that a plurality of such devices may be comfortably worn in the hair to permit the forming of more than one wave or curl at a time.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of con- 30 struction and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:-

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hair waver embodying the invention, showing alternative positions of the parts in dotted lines;

- Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure l; and

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the device. Referring now to the drawing, the device com prises two cooperating members 10 and 11 pivoted together at 12. I'he member 10 is of cylindrical or tubular form, while the member 11 is of concavo-convex cross section and so formed asto flt tightlyonandtocovertheupperortopcurvcd P rtion oi the member 10. A substantially U- shaped leaf spring 13 is disposed between the rear ends 14 and 15 of said members so as to press the member 11 down firmly on the member 10.

In carrying'out the present invention, the hol- 5 low cylindrical or tubular member 10 is formed with a series of perforations 16 extending at spaced intervals substantially throughout its entire length and at spaced intervals circumferentially of said member. As is clearly shown in Figure 1, the perforations of each row are ofiset or staggered in relation to the perforations of the succeeding and following rows. The perforations of alternate rows are preferably disposed to at diametrically opposite points, as indicated in Fig. 2, to permit of continuous and uninterrupted circulation of air therethrough. It is to be understood, however, that the number and arrangement of these perforations may be varied from that described and illustrated herein.

The member 11 is likewise formed with a series of spaced perforations 17, which perforations are preferably arranged to register with the top row of perforations 16 of the tubular member 10.

As is usualin such hair wavers, the device is provided'with a wire loop or clamping member 18 which member is hinged or pivoted at its ends on the pin 12. In using the device, the hair is dampened and the ends to be curled are engaged or clamped between the members 10 and 11 and rolled on said members, after which the loop 18 is swung into position to engage over the rolled hair so as to hold the device in place/and prevent the hair from unrolling. The device is then left in the hair a suflici'ent time to permit the curl or wave to set. By reason of the provision of the ventilating means of my improved hair waver, the hair will dry, and the curl or wave will be formed, much more rapidly than is possible with any of the prior devices or this type.

What I claim is:-

A hair waver of the type set forth including a hollow tubular member formed with airially disposed rows of ventilating perforations, the rows being spaced circumierentially of the member, and there being at least one row at the top of the member and two opposed rows at. the sides thereof, a cover member coniormably fitted on the upper portion ofthe tubular member and hinged 95 to the latter adiacent one end thereof, said member having a longitudinally disposed row of ventilation perforations 01' substantially the diameter of the perforations or the tubular memher and being disposed in register with the row of 100 periorationsat the top of the tubular member, and the sides of the cover member being disposed spaced above the respective said rows of periorations 'at the sides of the tubular member and a clamping member pivoted to the tubular mem- 105 bet to hold the hairin place.
